The Flesh of The Orchid
by James Hadley Chase
Carol Blandish was the daughter of Miss Blandish and a maniac killer. She was beautiful. She was the heir to six million dollars. And she was a prisoner in a mental home. All she had to do to inherit the money was escape, and stay out for fourteen days . . . . But a whole lot of other people were after the Blandish fortune — and that meant they were after Carol : once outside the mental home, she found herself mixed up in a deadly hide-and-seek of violence and sudden death . . . There was Roy Larson, who couldn't keep his hands off that beautiful body : and there were the Sullivans, professional killers who'd rather have their hands on the money. . .
